The overpowering numbers and superior discipline of Kamehameha's warriors turned the defeat of the natives of Oahu into a disastrous rout, and they were mercilessly pursued to the end of the valley, where 1 68 Hawaii. there is a steep precipice, — ^the Pali. They were driven over this in a body, a few only escaping, among them Kalanikupule, who was afterwards captured and sacrificed to the conqueror's war god, Kukailimoku. At one portion of the Pali there is a narrow cleft, through which the wi...nd whistles wildly, and sometimes with a sad and mournful sound, which the natives say is the wailing of the spirits of the warriors slaughtered on the plain below. Kamehameha thus became king of the entire group, the king of Kaui acknowledging his authority in 1810, some fifteen years after the conquest of Oahu. Kamehameha I. was a thorough disciplinarian. As an instance of this we may mention the following circumstance : To enable his men to overcome all obstacles and difficulties at sea, he made them unlash their outriggers in deep water, throw away their paddles, and at a given signal put their canoes together again in the water.
